(((Updated 9/19/04)))) RECOMMENDED SHOWS--ALL WITH MP3s TO DOWNLOAD RIGHT NOW! The Overnightscape - "A New Kind of Radio Show" - Join host Frank Edward Nora on a pleasantly insane ramble through the mysteries of life, culture, current events, beverages, malls, and beyond! (This is my show, so I figured I'd put it first!) Crap and Stuff - "Part of the New Time Radio phenomenon, Crap and Stuff is a one-person audio show that's not on the radio, but available as a file stream or download. " Static Internet Radio - Great weekly show with Bob and Miles, two midwesterners that talk about their lives and all sorts of stuff. New show every Wednesday, plus an archive of about a year's worth of shows, in Quicktime format. Always a great listen! (Click the "OLD" link to find MP3s) SITFUSO - "Audio programme that defies logic, common sense, and good taste." It's like a modern, New Time Radio version of "Monty Python's Flying Circus". 5 episodes so far, check 'em out! A Career in the Weeklies - Episodic comedy adventure soap opera that tells the story of Eric Shea, and his strange career with a weekly Toronto paper called THE ANTI-NEWS WEEKLY. The paper was founded by an enigmatic madman named Johnny Whispers. The stories revolve around Eric and Johnny's efforts to make the newspaper into the most hated institution in the city. So far there are 9 episodes. (The MP3s are there, but there don't appear to be any direct download links. You can find the locations of the MP3s in the HTML source or the M3U files.) Hate The Radio - Web-broadcast audio program featuring Al & Law, plus web audio directory and message board. The Basement Internet Show - "Eclectic internet talk show featuring interviews with interesting and unusual guests." RetroGaming Radio - This is quintessential New Time Radio! A show all about classic video games, hosted by Shane R. Monroe. Many episodes are available as free MP3 downloads. The rest can be purchased on CD-ROM. Prophecy Keepers Radio - "Weekly Talk Radio Show about Native Prophecy - and about the visit 200 years ago of our White Bearded God whom we call 'The God of Wind and Waters' from a strictly Native American point-of-view." The Wonder Fears - 40-minute audio drama. "The whole story is based from a perspective of a child of 9-13 years old - much like the TV show, 'The Wonder Years' - at a time when monsters and scary situations are far too real." Apotheosis - A hyperactive "intellectual comedy" kind of audio drama. Actually quite good. Free lo-fi streaming, with audio CDs available for purchase. Ghostly Talk - Show about ghosts and stuff. Digital Llama Radio - Two different shows. "Fanfilm Radio" is all about the world of Star Wars fan films. "Player's Guide" is all about role-playing games and the like. Both feature a bunch of inspired geeks being goofy. As far as I can tell, all shows are freely downloadable as MP3. UPDATE: Their old site is down, and it looks like the new site (hosted by TheForce.net) only has Fanfilm Radio, and not Player's Guide... Soundings - "The Audio Theatre of Jeff Green." Crunchy Frog Comedy - Audio comedy. MORE MP3 SITES - MIXED CONTENT These sites all have at least some MP3s to download. Some you may have to find via M3Us (more info on this to come) Brocket99.net - All about a controversial underground tape from 1986 which parodies an Indian reservation radio station in Alberta, Canada. Definitely worth checking out. MP3 downloads of the entire tape are available. Opsound - Open Sound Resource - "Opsound is a record label using an open source, copyleft model, an experiment in practical gift economics, a laboratory for new ways of releasing music." A very interesting idea. Mostly music, but some stuff that kind of veers into this list's territory... The Hour of Slack - "The Church of the SubGenius Radio Ministry". Is it a fake cult pretending to be a real cult, or the other way around? Radio Tiki - "Eclectic news and humor". The Dave and Ward Show - Internet comedy radio show. "Funny guys". The Soul Patrol - Internet audio comedy series. Virtually American - A variety of audio dramas. ZBS - Contemporary audio drama. Not From Space - Audio movie, available on CD. Free samples available. NAKEDGREMLIN! - Interview with Javier - A short audio documentary worth a listen. Looks to be the only audio thing on the site. Attica Rebellion audio documentary - "29-minute documentary about the origins of the modern anti-prison movement." Freedom Archives - "The Freedom Archives contain over 5000 hours of audiotapes. These recordings date from the late-60s to the mid-90s and chronicle the progressive history of the Bay Area, the United States, and international solidarity movements. The collection includes weekly news/ poetry/ music programs broadcast on several educational radio stations; in-depth interviews and reports on social and cultural issues; diverse activist voices; original and recorded music, poetry, original sound collages; and an extensive La Raza collection." The Radio Trip - Broadcast radio show. "The Radio Trip with Ben Churchill featuring Comedy Bits, Web Parodies, Sound Bites, & Literature." Interesting radio show with lots of MP3 clips and Real streaming shows. Mike Hodel's Hour 25 - Broadcast radio show. "Science Fiction Radio for Southern California since 1972." OTHER SITES Lots of good stuff, but unfortunately these sites don't offer their content as MP3 downloads. Most of this stuff you will need to listen to on your computer as opposed to using a portable/car player. [audio technology, as best I can determine, in brackets] The Michael Anthony Show - "Against the grain since 1987" - A mostly political and Free Speech oriented talk show mixed with independent and unsigned artists.

[Internet Stream] The John and Keith Show - "John and Keith are your typical 25 year old Computer Programmers.... worthless Mountain Dew addicts with severe emotional problems. They spend their 25 hour work weeks being ridiculed at a corporation that's bigger than Al Roker's head. Well, in order for them to fight back (.... kinda), they've decided to start an Internet Talk Radio show! Hailing from the San Francisco of the Mid-west (a.k.a Columbus, OH), you can listen in on John and Keith touch on the important subjects in life.... like knife fights and bath houses!"

[Real] The George Ministeri Show - George Ministeri is an internationally acclaimed psychic, clairvoyant, and psychometrist. He is adept at clairaudio, telepathy, dream analysis, and some forms of mediumship. He has been a leading influence in the metaphysical field for more than 25 years. Tune in Sundays from 3:30 PM EST to 5:00 PM EST to listen to George Ministeri's Live Internet broadcast. [Internet Stream] Radio2 - "Alternative Audio". I found an interesting earlier version of the site on Archive.org HERE. [Real} STALE SITES(Not updated in a long time, but still stuff to listen to.)SciFi.com's Seeing Ear Theatre - High-profile and somewhat ponderous, but interesting nonetheless. The site is still up and running, but judging from message board posts, it seems that site updates and new content stopped in mid-2001, with no explanation. [Real] The Schnauzer Logic Radio Company - Online talk radio show. The site has not been updated for a long time. [Real] Radio Free OZ - A very, very confusing site that seems to have material from Firesign Theater on it.

[Real] LINKS / DIRECTORIESSHOUTcast - Streaming stations. Check out these genres specifically: Comedy - Talk - SpokenJoey Manley's Web Show Guide Radio Theater on the Web Yahoo!

Currently the biggest online archive of audiogames."Bavisoft - "Software for the blind and visually impaired."

Audyssey Magazine - "Audyssey is a magazine devoted to the discussion of games which, by accident or design, are accessible to blind or vision impaired persons." Definitely a good source for info on audio gaming, though its scope is much wider. GMA Games - Software company which makes a game called "Shades of Doom", which is apparently an audio game. Other games of theirs could be audio games as well... hard to tell... The Interactive Audio Game Project - Audio game idea from Autumn 1997. Alternate Link BROADCAST RADIO SHOWS / OTHER(With shows/archives available online.)The Audio Kitchen - A wide variety of found audio material, such as childhood tapes, answering machines, people singing songs, etc. Used to be a weekly show on NJ radio station WFMU, now only broadcast infrequently. Still going, with a large archive of shows available in Real format (too bad they're not MP3). Here is the old page. [Real] Harry Shearer's Le Show - Weekly radio show airing on KCRW, Santa Monica, CA. Over 2 years of show archives online. [Real] Ken Nordine's Word Jazz - Streaming webcasts of this beat-era cool poet/atmospheric monologuist dude. Very cool, hip stuff.

Dead links go to archive.org where you can see some archived versions of the sites.)Radiokook - Audio comedy from San Francisco. Fate unknown. Original Link Giant Steps - British audio comedy "saga". Dry humor. Site gone. Original Link eYada.com - High-profile online talk radio. Went out of business and shut down in July 2001. Original Link The VaudeVillains - "Online audio comedy troupe presenting original humor written and performed by sick, sick people." Site gone. Original Link Preservatory.com - Very cool site that shut down in Fall 2001. They had a variety of audio features from the vaults of the Canadian Broadcasting Company.

Looks to be gone. Original Link How To Speak Hip - (Website gone?) Website of a classic vinyl album, where a hipster teaches squares how to speak "hip". Site has a Flash-based page where you can hear the album (MP3s would have been better...). Original Link Vanishing Harold - Canadian improv sketch comedy. Good stuff, but hasn't been updated in a long time. UPDATE 12/27/03 - Looks like the site is down. Original Link Hyphenated-American Radio - "Listen to our 'In Your Mouth!' internet radio show 24/7!" There seems to be a fairly recent show in the archive (as of July 2003), in which they talk about, among other things, the demise of antennaradio.com, where they had been "syndicated" at one point. UPDATE: Looks to be gone. Original Link James Randi Internet Audio "Radio" Show - The Amazing Randi proves that psychic powers are fake... something like that... UPDATE: Show is on "hiatus".
